Abattoir is thrilled to present an installation by Michelle Grabner, well-known artist and teacher based in Chicago and Milwaukee, focusing on her long-held investigations of the ordinary and familiar as signifiers of political society. This is the artist’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. She was featured with Abattoir at Independent last May, and was the subject of a retrospective exhibition, with catalog, at the Schneider Museum of Art in Oregon. An earlier retrospective exhibition was held at moCa Cleveland in 2013.
